Overview

  • Call Her Alex premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 8 and will stream on Hulu on June 10.
  • Cooper alleges that coach Nancy Feldman fixated on her during her sophomore season at BU from 2013 to 2015, making inappropriate comments about her body and probing her personal life.
  • She and her parents say Boston University athletics officials dismissed her written complaints within minutes, declined to investigate and allowed her to keep her scholarship while ending her soccer career.
  • Feldman retired in 2022 after 27 years as the head coach of Boston University’s women’s soccer program.
  • After learning that similar abuses were still occurring on campus, Cooper broke her decade-long silence and hopes her story will inspire other victims to come forward.
